Menstruation is a natural process, but it can affect how we feel. To stay comfortable and care for intimate hygiene, it helps to know the guidelines that can ease symptoms and protect our health. In the article below we’ll discuss what to avoid during your period and why choosing natural solutions—like products from Masmi made from 100% of the healthiest, certified organic cotton—can be beneficial.
Avoid hot baths and the sauna
Although a hot bath may seem relaxing, high water temperature dilates blood vessels and can increase bleeding. Visiting the sauna is also not recommended—high heat can lower blood pressure and raise the risk of infection. Instead of a bathtub soak, a warm (not hot) shower is a better choice: it maintains intimate hygiene while supporting your health.
Avoid products with harsh chemicals
In everyday care many women use traditional pads and tampons. Unfortunately, standard products often contain chlorine, pesticides, and fragrances that can irritate the delicate skin of the intimate area. These ingredients not only increase allergy risk but can disrupt the balance of bacterial flora. That’s why it’s worth choosing natural products—made from 100% certified organic cotton—which contain no harmful substances and are hypoallergenic, with multiple certifications like ours:
Don’t wear hygiene products too long
Whether you use pads, tampons, or period underwear, it’s important to change them regularly. Standard pads and tampons should be changed every 3–4 hours to prevent bacterial growth. Our modern period underwear is a great alternative—thanks to its special high absorbency (for example, size L can absorb up to 69.6 g, equivalent to the protection of more than four traditional tampons), it only needs changing twice a day. An added benefit is cost-effectiveness—the underwear can be washed up to 100 times with guaranteed quality retention.
Avoid heavy and processed foods
During menstruation a woman’s body is more sensitive, so diet plays a key role. Highly processed, fatty, or sugar-rich foods can worsen symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and fatigue. Reach for fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. A balanced diet during menstruation helps maintain hormonal balance and supports recovery, positively affecting how you feel.
Avoid harsh intimate hygiene cosmetics
Frequent use of strongly perfumed soaps and intimate washes can disturb the natural pH and cause irritation. Instead, choose products with mild formulas, preferably based on natural ingredients. Masmi products are free from harmful additives, making them ideal for daily care. They help you maintain intimate hygiene without the risk of irritation, so you can feel fresh and comfortable all day.
Why choose Masmi products?
Products from Masmi stand out mainly because of the quality of raw materials used. All items—from organic pads, through period underwear, to panty liners —are made from certified organic cotton, ensuring no harmful substances like chlorine or pesticides. This makes them not only safe and hypoallergenic but also biodegradable. What’s more, Masmi period underwear is available in various sizes and offers impressive absorbency:
- Size S: up to 47.7 g
- Size M: up to 62.3 g
